what is IBS?

Answer 1

It is Irritable Bowel Syndrome, but I expect thats not really your whole question.

It's the most common disease diagnosed by gastroenterologists .

It's symptoms include Abdominal pain, bloating, and discomfort, constipation and/or diarrhea

There is no way you can diagnose yourself, you should go to a doctor if you have frequent cramping and trouble with your bowel movements.

I personally think that most doctors diagnose people with this when they have no other explanation for whats wrong, but either way they can perscribe some good drugs and might tell you to change your diet, which can possibly end up benefiting your overall health.

Hope that helped :)

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common disorders that doctors see. Yet it's also one that many people aren't comfortable talking about. Irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by abdominal pain or cramping and changes in bowel function — including bloating, gas, diarrhea and constipation — problems most people don't like to discuss. What's more, for many years irritable bowel syndrome was considered a psychological rather than a physical problem.

Up to one in five American adults has irritable bowel syndrome. The disorder accounts for more than one out of every 10 doctor visits. For most people, signs and symptoms of irritable bowel disease are mild. Only a small percentage of people with irritable bowel syndrome have severe signs and symptoms.

Fortunately, unlike more serious intestinal diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome doesn't cause inflammation or changes in bowel tissue or increase your risk of colorectal cancer. In many cases, you can control irritable bowel syndrome by managing your diet, lifestyle and stress.
